| book description |

How far would you go for a year off work . . . ? ‘I raced through it’ – Daily Mail ‘Brilliantly original and hilariously executed’ – Rosie Walsh, author of The Love of My Life Meet Barri Brown. Respected teacher. Upstanding citizen of Guernsey. Down for a bit of law-breaking . . . At thirty-five, Barri spends her time slaving away as a teacher, getting passed over for promotions and constantly covering for colleagues with kids. When her husband vanishes – along with her savings – it’s the final straw. And so, she hatches a wild plan: fake a pregnancy and use the paid maternity leave to start over somewhere new. With seven foam bumps, a wardrobe full of smock dresses and a great pregnancy heist underway, all Barri has to do is blag it until she can disappear for good – without getting caught and being sent to prison for fraud. How hard could it be? Will she really get away with telling the mother of all lies? From award-winning comedy writer Anna Brook-Mitchell, Motherfaker is the perfect read for fans of Really Good, Actually by Monica Heisey and All The Other Mothers Hate Me by Sarah Harman. ‘Funny, moving, relatable and keeps you on the edge of your seat’ – Libby Page, author of The Lido ‘A bold, brilliant and bonkers caper’ – Alexandra Potter, author of Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up ‘Brilliantly funny’ – Stylist ‘This book will make you guffaw out loud’ – Prima Readers love Motherfaker! ‘A rare mix of laugh-out-loud funny, moving and compelling’ ‘Clever, tender, and impossible to put down – an absolute joy from start to finish’ ‘Funny, emotional, heart-wrenching and action-packed, with an idyllic Guernsey location’ ‘Hilarious, touching, emotional, infuriating and a bit bonkers’ ‘A fantastic debut that I just wanted to keep reading!’
